About the tune
The words were written by the English clergyman John Newton and first published in 1779. The tune we know today, called New Britain, was paired with the words in the 1830s in America. The melody is built on a five-note scale, which is why it feels both simple and open. It is written in waltz time, three beats in each bar.
How it is arranged here
The arrangement is simplified for learning and is written in 3/4 time at about 84 beats per minute. It has about 13 bars and 43 steps in Any-key mode, where one press plays the whole step. The right hand has 30 notes and the left hand has 52. The lowest note is G2 and the highest is D5.
How to learn it
- Open the song and choose Watch to see and hear it once.
- Switch to Follow. The song waits for you to press each lit key, so there is no timing pressure.
- When Follow feels easy, try Play along and aim for 90% or better. The speed dial lets you start slow, and the coach loops any bars that gave you trouble.
Practice tips
- It starts on a short “pickup” note before the first full bar, so the first press is a lead-in. Count 1-2-3 starting from the second note.
- This is an ideal tune for Organ and Choir modes, where each note sustains as long as you hold the key.
Try it on organ or choir
This tune sounds especially good with held notes. Turn the instrument dial to Organ or Choir and every note will sustain for as long as you hold the key. See how the synth choir works or how drawbar organs work.
Is it free to use and share?
The hymn text and the traditional tune are both in the public domain. Our arrangement is simplified, and it is written for practice rather than as a published edition. See our guide to public-domain music for what that means.
